The "I hate Mitt Romney" thread :)

[Crooksin]

This.

If you agree with everything he's said, then you are just as oblivious as him. But then again your location says you're from "Murrica" so I'm not surprised.

Not to mention the fact that his "Godsend" Obamacare is going to tax the pl*** out of everyone.

(Uploaded chart because it wasn't showing up when I added the image to the post, see below)

Compared to other tax hikes? Not so much, in fact he's on par with Clinton and Bush, the former being one of the most respected Presidents ever.

So no, the Affordable Care Act isn’t the “biggest tax hike in history.” It’s not even the biggest tax hike in the past 60 years. Or 50 years. Or 30 years. Or 20 years.

But it does include a number of tax hikes. The individual mandate, however, isn’t one of the big ones. It’s only expected to raise $27 billion during the next decade. The largest tax increase in the law is on high earners, who will see their Medicare payroll taxes increase by 0.9 percentage point and who will also pay a slightly higher rate on investment income. That raises more than $200 billion. There’s also the tax on unusually expensive health insurance plans, which raises $30 billion in the first decade, and much more in the second. There’s a $60 billion tax on insurance companies. You can find the whole list here.

Most of the tax increases will happen to the extremely wealthy after all and those retched insurance companies, but with Romney the exact opposite will occur.

No, ‘Obamacare’ isn’t ‘the largest tax increase in the history of the world’ (in one chart)

I'm continued to be amazed how Americans are still scared of a little Socialism.

Every politician has skeletons in their closest. That's a given. And I'm not saying Obama is perfect, but he's surely a hundred times better than Romney. As Raijin said, he will be worse than Bush. Honestly, I thought he couldn't get any worse than Bush. But, nope. We found him, and his name is Romney. .

I honestly disagree. He isn't George W. Bush. I don't think he's Regan but he isn't going to be Bush.

There are other countries, their citizens and leaders, begging for the U.S. to not let Romney in. That says something right there. Romney is so out of touch with reality, and that is his greatest flaw. He can't relate to anyone but the super rich, and is not in it for the common hard working man. .

I've started to fan off any care about what other Countries think of this election. 4 years ago was the same thing, and after we voted Obama in, it was the "Same Ol. Same Ol" from the Liberal presses of other countries. (and Believe ME.. They have the same problems we have with the press. There are ALOT of conservative citizens in other countries that don't get their voices out) on top of that, If other countries support of Obama means that his is endorsed by Madinejad, Castro, and Chavez, I'm not very excited about him anymore. (and he has been for this election)

Romney basically wants to take away everything that FDR put into place. Programs and assistance that help Americans when they are in need. And Romney wants to take that all away. I simply can not support a man like this..

No he doesn't.. and he Can't even if he did. He has plans to stop some unessasary junk to get the National Budget on the right track, but he is in "NO" way going to run around starving the Poor to get them off the earth no matter how much poison the Liberal Media wants us to believe it. That is also saying Alot more than what Obama plans on doing... which is very little.

The middle class is being eroded away and if it continues, the U.S. will turn into a third world country. It's already happening. You'd have to be blind not to see that.

Totally Agree, and that is the Reason I'm voting for Romney. Romney isn't running his second term. Obama is. I don't care about the whole "1%" but I'm not going to revote a President only to "Cock Block" rich people when we need stable tax regulations and need the Goverment to quit playing around with bussiness like it's 1996. I don't blame the initial fall on Obama, however our Country isn't growning economically despite all the "Recovery" speeches I've heard over these last 4 years. I want real Recovery by an administration that knows what Recovery actually is.

But it doesn't matter what I think. I'm really sick of politics. I just want this over with now. I don't believe there is an "On the Fence" voter at this point. (Unless is some mountain man who is living out in the woods somewhere) I just want to get it done, and let the "Best Spun" win.

They are both horrible. But such is always the truth... If I had to pick, Romney. Hope and change? That didn't fall through. We continue to sell guns to those who hate us. It makes no sense anymore.

America's current logic:

1. Sell guns to those that hate us.

2. Be surprised that they start a war with us.

3. BOMB THEM.

4. But wait, we can't, because we're several trillion dollars in debt to other countries that hate us.

5. Tax the citizens until we have enough money.

6. BOMB THEM.

7. Cover up a good majority of the truth and make those that carried it out look good.

I'm continued to be amazed how Americans are still scared of a little Socialism.

It's called brainwashing my friend. The politicians spread fear among the simple minded Americans thus turning them into living thralls who aren't able to think for themselves. The Republicans picture Socialism as a bad to the public and they do it repeatedly until people submit to their political leaders, and accept that what they're saying must be true.

Go watch this video. It's an ex KGB agent being interviewed regarding to brainwashing. Connect the puzzle and you clearly see that many Americans are indeed brainwashed all thanks to our government.

How to brainwash people using 4 steps:

1. Demoralization
2. Destabilization
3. Crisis
4. Normalization

Of course at the end our government doesn't shoot people. Instead they send the so called "trouble makers" to a psychiatric hospital and pump them with mind altering medications against their will.

"The whole American public is brainwashed into thinking socialism is bad"

Is that why we've been moving closer and closer to socialism? You can't even argue that. What you said was just wrong.

 

[Raijin]

Did you watch the video yet?

 

[Jei El]

Where was Romney born? AMERICA

Where was Obama born... Hmmm Kenya.. Raised in INDONESIA part of his life.

And you guys honestly want this man for president?

Ah, friend... I've seen it before. Haha, but I shall watch yet again.

You want a president that only cares about the wealthy and corporations that sends jobs off shores? To be honest with you I don't care where Obama was born at. I don't care if hes a god forsaken martian from mars.

Get over it already because you're sounding very much like Donald Trump.

Also do you want a president that does this? Mitt Romney 'rented' church's tax exemption to dodge paying taxes for 15 years - Detroit liberal | Examiner.com

Then how come every American thinks Obamacare is a bad idea? Blaming it on how much its going to tax people when really it won't tax people anymore than the last 20 years?

America's current logic:

1. Sell guns to those that hate us.

2. Be surprised that they start a war with us.

3. BOMB THEM.

4. But wait, we can't, because we're several trillion dollars in debt to other countries that hate us.

6. BOMB THEM.

7. Cover up a good majority of the truth and make those that carried it out look good.

I love how you think that's going to change with ROMNEY or something, who is looking to RAISE military spending. What does this mean? MORE bombs, MORE taxes, MORE guns, MORE wars. He wants to pump more money to deal with the Iranian threat, which hasn't even been proven to be a threat in the first place.

Considering the Middle East's track record with claiming they have WMD's, and the fact that the Iranian economy can barely even be called an economy, Iran is all smoke and mirrors. Remember the last time America invaded and occupied a country on a hunch? (cough, Iraq, cough) Remember how that turned out?

Seriously man, where is your logic?

 

[Docta Corvina]

On top of everything else, I can't believe there are people still clinging to the birther insanity.

Disagree with the man on policies all you like. But seriously, dispute him (and all other politicians/policy makers) on things that are actually true rather than the demented unicorns routinely pulled out of our collective ass.

 

[Omega Dragon]

Obama, Romney.
Obama, Romney.
Obama, Romney.
Obama, Romney.
Reminds me of every other election. Always even the "lesser of evils" mentality, too.

i'm comparing the US election to hurricane sandy. theres a lot of build up, the media are going crazy about it. we all just want it to be over, and then finally it happens, but everyone's still talking about it afterwards for a while. by christmas no one will really be talking about it very much but it will be mentioned from time to time when people talk about the aftermath.

was that a good analogy?

what charity are you going to give the five million dollars to? and even if he was from kenya that doesn't mean he can't be a good president. "oh no, jesus is from israel. we've got to stop worshipping him now"

Well, the fact that Sandy wiped out a quarter of New York I think we (North America, at least) will be hearing a lot about it even next year just like we (North America) heard about Katrina for a year after it happened.

As well as the fact that I've seen Obama in the headlines every few weeks for the past 4 years, so people are still mentioning/talking about it, especially in the last year. Sure, the loser of the election will practically be forgotten (Mitt especially), the new President will be talked about quite a bit whether it be Obama on his second term or Mitt on his first.

So no, not a good analogy at all. Its hard to really speak on something like this if you are not from North America yourself.

damn, i tried. our media here hasn't really been treating it like katrina, but i guess that after katrina people have been more careful with hurricanes and such

 

[Raijin]

Here in Florida our local media is going nuts over Sandy. It's Sandy this and Sandy that. I rather watch political ads then to keep hearing about Sandy.

However the Republicans will find anything to blame the incident on Obama when in fact the blame should be pointed at the state government.

i'm waiting for donald trump to say how sandy was a 'retaliation' because he was angered by obama's 'false americanism'

I honestly don't care what Trump say. I lost respect for the man long time ago. I would think as a successful businessman that he would keep his political views to himself, but no.
